Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno vychádza z hebrejského רָחֵל (rāḥēl), ktoré znamená „ovca“, presnejšie samica ovce. Ráhel je maďarská podoba biblického mena známeho v slovenčine ako Ráchel; maďarčina je tu sprostredkujúcim jazykom, nie pôvodným etymologickým zdrojom.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Etymológia, biblická tradícia a jazykové varianty: Behind the Name – Rachel. Nesklonnosť vyplýva zo všeobecného pravidla pre cudzie ženské mená zakončené na spoluhlásku: Kultúra slova, 1968, č. 5 – Nesklonné osobné ženské mená. Konkrétne heslo v príručke Milana Majtána nebolo priamo overené. Pole zdrobnenín zostáva prázdne, pretože 4–7 ustálených slovenských domáckych podôb mena Ráhel sa nepodarilo spoľahlivo doložiť.
